Norf selling home games is as good as is us selling a game to NT.

It should not be allowed…

useless north, so many opportunities to ice the game

I know they would have got a lot more money playing at optus, but they could have played under the roof at marvel & would have probably won

He goes ok our future ruckman.

Will Schofield asked Luke Jackson about him and Darcy going up against the premier ruckman in the competition in Tristan Xerri, and Jackson began his response with "Yeah, Xerri's probably a top two ruckman in the comp."

Made me laugh because we know who Jackson thinks the premier ruckman in the competition is. His future teammate.

We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained.

Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground.

The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look.

Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

I hated selling Home Games to Brisbane, i don’t care what the Financial gains were.

Find an alternative Income Stream

Same with the NT, i have no problem spending time up there during preseason, but selling Home Games is just not right.

We give ourselves a disadvantage every Season

I know balance isn't your strong suit but you should at least try some.

Simples. Three more i50's but 10 goals fewer from them.

Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

I’ve raised this before about North Melbourne but if we had their clinical accuracy we’d be $1.02 favourites to win the flag.

Out of 14 games they’ve had one occasion whether they’ve kicked more behinds than goals and they still managed 10.11.

That's interesting, he didn't look too bad with his tap work in the last qtr and I haven't seen any reports in the post match about him being injured.

Wrong Fred

Right. Time to let a bee out of my bonnet.

Tom McCarthy.

Just shy of his 25th birthday, taken in the mid-season draft.

Close to nil salary and almost as little 'investment' in his development by the AFL system over the years.

Had an actual real-person job until about four weeks ago.

31 disposals, at 93% efficiency, NINE intercepts, just short of 600m gained.

Clearly BoG for his side and possibly for the game.

So my question, with additional reference to other second-tier upgrades as well as top-performing kids, is...

What is the $20-30m a year, per club, of player salaries and football department budget actually getting?
